WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WWJ/AP) - A 34-year-old woman has been arrested after leading police on a car chase and later striking an officer northwest of Detroit.
Waterford Township police say another officer tried to stop the woman early Wednesday morning after receiving a report that she had followed a 17-year-old girl from CVS to her home.
According to police once at the teen's home -- the woman got out of her car and went into the teen's backyard.
The woman eventually was stopped by a second officer who ordered her from the car. Police say she accelerated, striking the officer who fired eight shots into the car -- taking off with the officer on the hood of her car.
She continued driving until she was stopped at a dead end and ran away. She later was found hiding nearby.
